Christmas Stock

I've been consumed by dye experiments lately. Ah, someday this will all be part of a grand thesis, but for now it'll be incorporated into this year's holiday product line. 

The results of pounding plants into cloth to see what happens are very pleasing. Since they're not going to be worn or handled a great deal, I'm not terribly concerned with the colour being wash fast. Steaming and pressing them with a hot iron has made some of the pigments able to stand up to a light spritzing with water, and most are fairly lightfast. The samples below have been made into cards for the upcoming BAC Christmas sale! 

And the background carpet is pretty sweet. 

A few little samples were turned into ornaments. I don't have a sewing machine here, so they're all hand-sewn and stuffed with wool. 

I WILL SELL ALL OF THEM!
